The mountain report says, “Excellent riding conditions on all aspects.” The weather gods have spoken—now it’s time to respond. Shred loudly with the motion-friendly Snowshots. They combine a feminine design that compliments the deepest days with waterproof/breathable protection to keep you ripping even in suboptimal weather. The H2No Performance Standard, 2-layer 100% polyester shell has a waterproof/breathable barrier for storm protection and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish to prevent wet snow from saturating the fabric. Waist details include a soft, brushed tricot lining for comfort and an internal adjustment for a customized fit. Inside, a slick 100% polyester tricot mesh liner glides easily over your baselayers and wicks moisture to keep you dry. Mesh-lined thigh vents let you release excess heat and gaiters, with tough scuff guards for edge protection, seal out snow when you’re postholing. Pockets include two handwarmers and a thigh cargo pocket. With an embedded RECCO avalanche rescue reflector and an articulated, feminine silhouette. Inseam (size M) is 32".
